Help with   After Effects CS6-

I did something to piss off after effects -    not sure what I did exactly I was trying to make an after effects icon on the dock ( I have a MacBook pro  running mavericks )
I have a subscription to the creative cloud - and have downloaded after effects CS6 .  but....
   Now when  I try  to open one of my  After effects projects it says "  Error message - something about I need to uninstall the older version of after- effects ,  - and then it listed a preset ( blur)
and when I close the window , there were approximately 30  similar windows  with the same message , but a different preset,( blur this or that )
So like an idiot I went to my applications and dragged my after effects app icon to the trash  ( there were two of them)  and then emptied the trash-  Now all my After effects files are greyed out with  small green text that says "exec"
what should I do?  I cant opn my AE   (after effects) files,  I went to the cloud to re-install it and it says it is alll updated ,  should I do a uninstall?  How do I do that?   can I do that and then re-install AE CS6?     will  adobe make me download the newer CC version?   I dont want that version because all the computers at my school run CS6
Can someone advise me what the next step would be?
Im grateful for this forum.

Run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and reinstall. Also learn to name your files sensibly - using $ in a file name may simply be interpreted as a variable by the operating system.

  • Help with After Effects CS6 error please?

    I'm working on a kinetic typography project in CS6 as my final assignment for my Motion Graphics class. It's nothing too complex, just some text to some song lyrics and I decided I wanted to do some camera movements around the text but when I checked the 3D box next to the layers, I get an error message,
    88:3, "error: TDL:outline contains triangles that are too small to be rendered. Check for very thin triangles in original artwork."
    I literally only have one background picture and then quite a few text layers but that's it.
    Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm still kind of new to After Effects and working with vector so I apologize if I'm not too savvy with all of this. Here's a screenshot of my composition if that's of any help.
    *Edit: Oh and my text doesn't need any extrusions, the only 3D transformations I've made to the text layers is "pulling" their positions a little closer on the Z axis.

  • Need Help With After Effects. Please read.

    Hey,
    So I'm using after effects cs6. The problem I have with it is that the final video after exporting stucks in between and never runs smoothly. I exported my almost 7 minutes video as a quicktime file that is (.mov). SO whenever I play the video in quicktime or any other player, it stucks, sometimes i pause it but it pauses after 10 seconds i click the pause button. sometimes the voice is ahead of sound and vice-versa. It doesnt stuck at the same point everytime. I need my video to run smoothly. Can someone please help.
    Appreciate your reply.
    Thanks

  • HELP! After Effects CS6 "Background Color" Rendering Problem!

    Of all my years of using Adobe After Effects, I have never encountered this problem before. First of all, this is what it looks like when I'm normally editing in my composition.
    Click the image to view in a higher resolution.
    When I add this composition to the render que, with all my settings ready, I hit render.
    But while it's rendering, I just get a red screen.
    In case you're wondering, these are my basic rendering settings.
    These are my output module settings.
    And these are my composition settings.

  • Help with After Effects

    I just upgraded to PP CS4 to CS5 Premium with After Effects and Photoshop.  I'm trying hard to figure things out but I'm unfamiliar with these programs and have no idea where to begin to learn.  I've tried watching various tutorials, but they skip over basics, and unfortunately, that's what I need.  I
    Can anyone recommend a really good book or video or something to get me started?  I know there's so much to learn and I'm so eager to learn it all.  However, I don't even know how to get the footage from CS5 to After Effects.
    One more question - I'm working on a video right now in CS5. The girl in the video has rosacea and I want to take the red out of her face.  Is this possible in After Effects?  If so, can someone please tell me how to go about doing it - or suggest a tutorial that deals with such an issue?
    Thank you so much,
    Jules

    > Do you have any idea which tool in after effects I would use, and how,
    to remove color from an area on a video and blend it with the
    surrounding area.  Or if anyone knows of a tutorial explaining that
    process I would so appreciate it.
    You should ask your After Effects questions on the After Effects forum:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/aftereffects_general_discussion
    Here are two video tutorials that show different ways to selectively apply an effect to a specific area:

    http://www.peachpit.com/podcasts/episode.aspx?e=8822f9a1-93c5-4a00-8697-a54b653c7aaf
    But you should really begin at the beginning and learnt he basics of After Effects first.

  • Need help with after effects render engine setup

    I use AE CS6 on a mac computer running Mountain Lion. I also own a PC running Windows 7, and I am wanting to use it to assist with network rendering. How do I install the after effects render engine on a PC, when all that I own is the Mac version of the software?
    Any help would be appreciated

    Did you purchase a perpetual license for the software, or do you have a Creative Cloud Membership subscription?
    If the former, you need to purchase an additional license to get the Windows version. If the latter, you can just download the Windows version as part of your subscription.

  • Serious Issues with After Effects CS6 and CC

    Wife updated computer to Mavericks and now I can't open AE CS6 at all - I've downloaded all the updates, but am getting message: "After Effects warning: Could not rename the file 'Users/christophersprinkle/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/11.0/Workspaces.2678.1407352277696161.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'
    There isn't even a file named as the above ... 
    That warning is followed by "After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application startup"
    When I try to open the project I'm working on with AE CC, it refuses to open it. 
    Please help.  Am seriously screwed.

  • Help with after effects Please

    Im trying to leran how to make 3d photos in after effects .
    Unfortunatley i cant find any instructions that help me with my problems when i import my layered photoshop document and double click the composition layer i just get a huge black box in the middile of the screen.
    i can view the layers individually but not as a whole to play with. is there a 2d to 3d book for dummies? ha ha
    can any one help????

    If your imported file is not working the color space is probably not RGB. AE only works properly with RGB files.
    I think you are looking for 'the kid stays in the picture' / or more accurately, camera mapping or camera projection techniques. This is where you separate the foreground background and middle ground elements of a photograph into separate layers, bring them into a 3D app like AE's 3D space, distribute them in 3D space, and then animate a camera move on the layers.
    There's a plug-in from Video Copilot that kind of automates this process and that works very well for certain photographs. Photoshop's vanishing point tool can also be used, or you may do all of the work of separating layers by hand (my preferred method 95% of the time) and bring the PSD into AE as a comp, convert the layers to 3D, distribute them on the Z axis, add a camera and animate the camera.

  • Help with After Effects error 213:11

    I try to open my project on after effects and after effects wont open. It tells me that and says to restart my computer which I have tried many times to no success. I have reinstalled it twice and still doesn't work. Please help.

    You have not actually told us any relevant technical details liek what computer we are talking about. This is a licensing error, so from a botched instal lto something on your system blocking the licensing services anything could be going on, but based on your non-info we just cannot know.

  • Help with After Effects? Null Layer and Text not working?

    In after effects cs5.5 on mac, im motion tracking as normal, and the track works fine, then when i add the null layer and edit the tracking target to the null layer, the screen goes black, and all i can see is the null layer as a red box moving along the motion track path (i cant see the path) also, whenever i try to add text, (which im trying to motion track via attatching to the null layer) the text is invisible, when the screens black, all i can see is the wire frame of the text next to the square null layer, im pretty new to after effects, but im following tutorials as i should, and its just not working as it shows in all the videos ive tried, please help!

    Check whether you have wireframe mode enabled/ Live Update disabled. Sounds like one of those cases. Other than that this could be OpenGL issues, so turn it off in the prefs. Also check your comp size vs. the size of the footage you are tracking. Tracking works relative to the layer, so if the comp is too small, the values would be so large they end up being outside the comp.
